How Did Stan Lee Transform Superhero Comics

Superman. The Man of Steel was first featured in Action Comics #1 as a man with a blue and red costumed holding a car above his head.

Jonas, like most archetypal heroes during this step, notes that he believes that his life will change due to this call to a mysterious adventure.
